Verdict

Boola Boola has shown some potential over timber though hasn't been since September 2021. Ivasecret, four times a winner on Polytrack in the UK, has his first run over timber for Shark Hanlon but has been going well at Dundalk. Lets Go Champ has joined Henry De Bromhead after landing a point at Bartlemy though that was in 2019. San Martino won on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien but has only shown moderate form so far over timber so TACTICAL MOVE is likely to be at short odds despite a very long absence. A winning bumper at Clonmel back in November 2019, he wouldn't have been kept by the champion trainer unless thought capable of winning races.
